Emo!angst, disguised as a GIP.

Oh, Thanos, you make me happy. You're a mean old bastard, which means I can now tell the Mary Sues to kill themselves. Whee.

In other news, my tooth chipped again. Whee.

Never heard anything back from the one job.

Fandom High continues to irritate me. I stopped reading large swathes of it due to Kara/Lee (and Sharon doesn't talk to anyone, anymore). At least I have Zhaan to juggle.

And can I mention again the really ugly journal layouts/color combinations on fh? Yes. Yes I can. People. KEEP IT SIMPLE, STUPID. It should be tattooed on every single person who has a massive graphic, white text on white backgrounds, or those stupid layouts that have no LABELS ON THE BOXES. We won't even get into the stupid script fonts people seem so fucking fond of.

Same goes for icons. All of these icon contest communities, and not one decent icon.

Women of SF

So, again, there's muttering running about considering women in SF and the fact that they're rather marginalized (read: boring), and so it's easier to not write the women because well, they're not interesting.

I wrote a rant a while back, regarding women being held to a higher standard. I still say it's true.

Not long after that rant, I also posted a list of the women I could think of, off the top of my head. Sadly, this did not result in an explosion of brand-new fic regarding the women of SF. This saddens me.

I have now updated the list, a bit. And would appreciate suggestions to add to it. I think I may add Anime to it, and possibly comics. Hrm.
